ah, I see! 10.7 was less a PITA concerning PowerManagement than 10.8 but with samisnake´s patched 2.1 bios together with the multishit ssdt for my 2500k things are running smooth and fast, just no wake from sleep (computer wakes but display stays dark) the USB power issue might be due to asrocks fast charging usb ports

wow, great! how did you do it? and what are your other problems?

sorry for the late answer easiest way at the moment is to use myhack from sojugarden. it is a guided hackinstallation my persisting problem is to get the dsdt fully functional. Scope (_PR) for one is missing completely. if you head to tonymax86, they have posted a modified 2.1 bios that should help with the new aipwm haven´t had luck with sleep so far

Problem seems to be Asrock's ACPI descriptors. Everytime I extracted my dsdt info from bios the processor part was missing. I assume more is missing because sleep is not working yet. Won't even go to sleep properly not to speak of waking up later on so i just outline my steps here 1. Download a) DSDT Editor b) Z68Pro3-Patch c) ALC892-Patch 2. Boot WITHOUT DSDT.AML 3. Extract DSDT info a) with DSDT editor b) with this code in terminal. It will save the extracted info from your bios to your desktop under "DSDT.AML" sudo perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while(<CMD>) { chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=<([^>]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP, "|xxd -r -p > ~/Desktop/dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }' 4. "Patch" DSDT a) Insert the following processor info into the DSDT. I put it right before the first "Scope" entry - "Scope _SB". Scope (_PR) { Processor (CPU0, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06) { } Processor (CPU1, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06) { } Processor (CPU2, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06) { } Processor (CPU3, 0x04, 0x00000410, 0x06) { } } b) In the lower left corner of the DSDT Editor window click "Update tree". Now "Scope _PR" should appear in the tree view on the left side. b) Apply the Z68Pro3 patch b) Apply ALC892 patch. Does display an Intel High Definition Audio device in system information but is not listed under sound in system settings. 5. "Compile" DSDT, acknowledge errors and click on fix 6. "Save as" wherever you want to save it, preferably under /Extra of your Lion partition 7. add this to your org.chameleon.Boot.plist under /Extra <key>DSDT</key> <string>/Extra/DSDT.AML</string> 8. reboot My system "seems" more responsive but that could be me. This worked under Lion/10.7.3 and is now working under Mountain Lion/10.8. Sadly speedstepper patch is not recognizing AICPM, so it doesn't patch. If anyone has sleep/wake up working please chime in! I hope that helps. Information on the Asrock Z68-Pro3 is a bit scarce.

Thank you, Cassio!

Hi! I have now tried for several weeks to make a working dsdt but i can´t get C/P-states to work nor sleep/wake when i extract the dsdt (mac, linux, windows all the same) it always starts with this DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "ALASKA", "A M I", 0x00000000) { Name (SP1O, 0x2E) Name (IO1B, 0x0290) Name (IO1L, 0x10) Name (IOCB, 0x0240) Name (IOCL, 0x10) Name (IOWB, 0x0250) Name (IOWL, 0x10) Name (IOES, 0xFF) Name (SL2P, Zero) Name (TCBR, 0xFED08000) Name (TCLT, 0x1000) Name (SRCB, 0xFED1C000) Name (SRCL, 0x4000) Name (SUSW, 0xFF) Name (PMBS, 0x0400) Name (PMLN, 0x80) Name (SMIP, 0xB2) Name (APCB, 0xFEC00000) Name (APCL, 0x00100000) Name (PM30, 0x0430) Name (SMBS, 0x1180) Name (SMBL, 0x20) Name (HPTB, 0xFED00000) Name (HPTC, 0xFED1F404) Name (GPBS, 0x0500) Name (GPLN, 0x80) Name (PEBS, 0xE0000000) Name (PELN, 0x10000000) Name (LAPB, 0xFEE00000) Name (VTDS, 0xFED90000) Name (VTDL, 0x4000) Name (ACPH, 0xDE) Name (ASSB, Zero) Name (AOTB, Zero) Name (AAXB, Zero) Name (PEHP, Zero) Name (SHPC, Zero) Name (PEPM, One) Name (PEER, One) Name (PECS, One) Name (ITKE, Zero) Name (DSSP, Zero) Name (FHPP, Zero) Name (TOBS, 0x0460) Name (SUCC, One) Name (NVLD, 0x02) Name (CRIT, 0x04) Name (NCRT, 0x06) Name (LDST, One) Name (SMIT, 0xB2) Name (OFST, 0x35) Name (TPMF, Zero) Name (TMF1, Zero) Name (TMF2, Zero) Name (TMF3, Zero) Name (PICM, Zero) Method (_PIC, 1, NotSerialized) { If (Arg0) { Store (0xAA, DBG8) } Else { Store (0xAC, DBG8) } Store (Arg0, PICM) } i used the z68 pro 3 dsdt patch together with dsdt editor but still no go. as i understand it at the beginning should be the processors listed my system only boots if i delete apicpupm.kext. i am usually not that dense but i can´t figure it out Please lend me some brain specs: ASRock Z68 Pro 3 with 1.60 Bios Intel Core i5-2500k 8GB DDR3 POV 460GTX 768MB TGT 128GB Crucial M4 SSD AsrockZ68Pro3-dsdt.dsl.zip ioregdump.txt.zip kextstatdump.txt.zip
